Democratic Sentinel, Volume 10, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 June 1886 — Senator Voorhees and the Tramp. [ARTICLE]

Senator Voorhees and the Tramp.

“This is Senator Yoorhees, I believe ?” said a Washington tramp to the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash. “It is,” was the reply. “And I think you are in favor of the urgent deficiency bill ?” “I am.” “Ah! Then give me a quarter. Senator, for I’m the worst case of urgent deficiency you ever saw!” The quarter came.— New York Tribune.

Klein’s inference from the results of special trials with manures containing sulphocyanides is cautionary. Water containing per litre .1 gram ammonium sulphocyanide proved fatal to wellgrown plants of barley and oats. Young plants perished under the application of even .01 gram. The introduction of superphosphates containing sulphocyanides should therefore be discountenanced, or if used at all should be applied to the land some weeks before sowing. Bodily exercise greatly increases the activity of the lungs. It cannot, therefore be truly beneficial to the whole system unless ca:ried on in the pure air. In the arctio region there are 762 kinds of flowers. Fifty of .these are confined to the arctio region.
